Chapter 3 Liu Bei: Shuzhi, take Zihao to live in the Left General’s Mansion

Liu Wu looked at the selectable types of family guards on the virtual screen in front of him, feeling quite expectant and excited.

No wonder Liu Wu is so happy.

Or it is because these types of troops are very powerful.

Like the first one, the Modao soldiers.

What are Modao soldiers?
The Modao soldiers were one of the most powerful arms of the Tang Dynasty.

The reason why the Tang Dynasty army was so powerful at that time was not unrelated to the Modao Team with strong combat effectiveness.

The Modao soldiers used a weapon called the Modao, which was two meters and three meters long and weighed about fifty kilograms. It could be used for chopping or slashing, and they fought in formations. They were the natural nemesis of cavalry.

The powerful Modao soldiers are enough to be infantrymen to fight against cavalry.

In addition to the powerful Modao soldiers, the Western Han Dynasty’s Yulin Army, the Black Armor Soldiers, the Mongolian Cavalry, etc. are all the elite among the elite.

Among these options are elite and powerful infantry.

There are also cavalry that look down on the world, and even navy, archery army, and so on.

It can be said that it brings together all the strongest armies in ancient history.

After careful consideration, Liu Wu finally set his sights on option 4 [Iron Eagle Warrior].

The Iron Eagle Warriors were a very elite unit of the Qin State. Their combat effectiveness was well-known at the time, and they were also a very famous and powerful unit in ancient history.

The Iron Eagle Warriors were founded by Sima Cuo, the supreme general of the Qin State. They drew on Wu Qi’s method of training the Wei Wuzu and conducted more rigorous selection and training.

The selection criteria are extremely strict: The selection process for the Iron Eagle Warriors is extremely demanding. First of all, they must pass the physical test, requiring the soldiers to carry equipment weighing more than 80 kilograms and run for 100 miles without stopping, and still be able to immediately engage in fierce battles. In addition, they must pass a variety of martial arts competitions such as infantry combat, cavalry combat, and battle formation combat to ensure that the soldiers have comprehensive military qualities. Only 1,600 Iron Eagle Warriors were selected from the 200,000 new troops.

Just looking at the numbers, it is enough to see how rare the Iron Eagle Warriors are.

What also caught Liu Wu’s attention was the comprehensive training of the Iron Eagle Warriors.

The Iron Eagle Warriors are not only proficient in swordsmanship, but also need to be proficient in a variety of fighting methods such as horse fighting and foot fighting, and be able to skillfully use any weapon. This comprehensive training enables the Iron Eagle Warriors to deal with various complex situations on the battlefield.

Liu Wu thought of the marital relationship he had established with Madam Mi. If he chose the Iron Eagle Warriors as family guards, he could sign in one every day. Liu Wu was very excited.

“System, I choose Iron Eagle Warrior!”

Liu Wu finally decided.

[Congratulations to the host, you have bound the Iron Eagle Sharp Soldier as the family sign-in guard, and you can sign in every day to get it! ]

[Remind the host that you can sign in today! ]

When the prompt sounded, Liu Wu immediately saw a vertical bar [Mrs. Mi & Iron Eagle Warriors] appear on the virtual screen in front of him.

Below the vertical column, there are boxes labeled:

You can sign in today, but not tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow,…

“Sign in!”

Liu Wu signed in directly.

[Congratulations to the host for signing in successfully today and obtaining an ordinary-level Iron Eagle Sharp Soldier. ]

[Hint: This Iron Eagle soldier is from Xuzhou. He is the fifth child in his family and is named Wang Wu. He served in the Yellow Turban Rebellion and has been in the army for nearly 20 years. He has acquired a lot of skills and is experienced in fighting on the battlefield. A few years ago, the host could not bear the hardships of the people and asked the servants to distribute food and porridge. He has never forgotten the kindness of giving Wang Wu a meal. Wang Wu will come to surrender tomorrow. Please go to the city gate to recruit him.]

[Hint: Unless the host does something unforgivable to it, it will never betray the host. ]

When the prompt sounded, Liu Wu realized that this system was not a magic system for resurrecting dead people.

The Iron Eagle Warriors who were rewarded also have their origins, and they are flesh and blood and have their own emotions.

At the beginning, he did open a head office in Hefei, and then expanded outward, making a lot of money. Not only did he use money to make friends with Gan Ning, he also asked shops in various places to take out 20% of their profits to provide grain and porridge to help people in need.

In addition, the system prompted that Wang Wu was just an ordinary-level Iron Eagle Warrior soldier, which aroused Liu Wu’s expectations.

Are the Iron Eagle Warriors that appear after daily sign-in any better than the ordinary level?

The only thing that Liu Wu felt regretful about was that the guards he received as rewards were all naked. He still had to equip them with equipment himself.

However, Liu Wu felt extremely satisfied after signing in a loyal Iron Eagle warrior in one day.

After all, in troubled times when rituals and music collapsed.

It is a rare opportunity for many princes to have a loyal follower.

“I also have my own loyal guards now, which makes me feel comforted in these troubled times.”

“However, if we only have one a day, there are only about 300 a year. If we want to achieve something quickly and stir up the world, it is still a little too few.”

“However, the family guard function of this system requires you to form a marriage relationship with a beauty in history before you can choose an additional type of soldier. It seems that I still need to work hard on this.”

Liu Wu quickly grasped the key to expanding his own power.

Historical beauty!

After traveling through time for twenty-two years, he adapted to the local customs and integrated into the ancient custom of having three wives and four concubines. He made a fortune in Hefei and married a wife, four concubines, and eighteen maids, all of whom were beautiful and attractive.

However, the family system was not activated.

Instead, it was only after he established a marital relationship with Madam Mi that he activated the super family system, bound himself to a branch of the military, and signed in daily.

Undoubtedly, historical beauties are the key.

Liu Wu was not pedantic, and would not practice monogamy in ancient times, nor did he think that having three wives and four concubines was bad. If he could build a super family of his own, build a powerful force of his own, and live better in troubled times, Liu Wu would be happy to do so.

“There are many beauties in the history of the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, such as Zhen Mi, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Bu Lianshi, Madam Zou, Madam Du, and Sun Shangxiang…”

“It’s just that most of these are married women, right?”

“Especially Cao Cao, who already had many wives and concubines at that time, and they were all beauties, such as Madam Bian, Madam Huan, Madam Du, Madam Qin, Madam Yin, Wang Zhaoyi, Sun Ji, Li Ji, Zhou Ji, Liu Ji, Song Ji, Zhao Ji, Chen Ji…”

Liu Wu touched his nose and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

However, Liu Wu suppressed his inner desire. Cao Cao was about to become the most powerful lord in the world, and the most urgent task was for him to completely take over Liu Bei’s power.

……

Liu Wu didn’t have to wait long before he was invited into Liu Bei’s ward.

“Zi Zhong, Zi Hao will rely on you to assist and take care of him.”

Inside the room, Liu Bei spoke weakly to Mi Zhu, whose face was filled with tears and grief.

Liu Wu, who was standing aside, naturally did not dare to neglect him. He bowed to Mi Zhu, who was dressed in Confucian clothes and was elegant and gentle, and said:

“If there is anything wrong with Wu, please teach me more.”

Mi Zhu was a loyal, generous and upright person. Historically, Liu Bei treated him as the best among his civil and military officials. Liu Wu also had a good impression of Mi Zhu and hoped to win him over to his side.

Mi Zhu already knew Liu Bei’s situation and Liu Bei’s plan, and knew that Liu Wu would replace Liu Bei and take charge of Xinye. Although Mi Zhu could not accept it for a while, the Mi family had placed a heavy bet on Liu Bei and there was no way out.

He only hoped that Liu Wu in front of him could have five times the ability of Liu Bei.

Mi Zhu bowed to Liu Wu, and bowed in return:
“I dare not teach you too much. If you need me in the future, the Mi family will do our best.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Wu looked serious and nodded to Mi Zhu.

However, deep down, Liu Wu did not believe Mi Zhu’s polite words.

The two had only met once. As a huge family, how could the Mi family be willing to bet the entire family on him?

After obtaining the system, Liu Wu could see the attribute panels of others. He could see it clearly, and Mi Zhu was just talking.

[Name]: Mi Zhu, courtesy name Zizhong
[Camp]: Xinye

[Business] (maximum value 100): 93. One of the world’s top business talents.

【Lord】: Liu Bei, Liu Wu (fake)
【Loyalty】: 89 (Liu Bei), 61 (Liu Wu)
[Evaluation: This person is loyal and good at investing. If you want him to be loyal, you should show your value, and his loyalty to you will naturally increase significantly.]

This property panel is very simple.

The ability display also only shows the more outstanding ones.

However, Liu Wu was also very satisfied.

This way he can at least see clearly the abilities and loyalty of his subordinates.

After that, Liu Wu spoke less with Mi Zhu and stood quietly aside, watching Liu Bei communicate with Mi Zhu, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Xu Shu and other civil and military officials.

Seeing how badly Liu Bei was injured and how he might become a disabled person in the future, Mi Zhu, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Xu Shu, Sun Qian and others could not help but have tears in their eyes. They lay down in front of the bed and shouted that they would find a miracle doctor all over the world and kill Cao Ren with their own hands to avenge Liu Bei.

Liu Wu watched all this silently, but he understood one thing.

He wanted to completely take over Mi Zhu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Xu Shu, Sun Qian, Chen Dao and other Xinye civil and military officials, and make them completely loyal to him.

Not only does he have to demonstrate his abilities, he also has to capture Cao Ren and avenge Liu Bei before he can completely win the hearts of all the civil and military officials.

Of course, Liu Wu was not optimistic about treating Liu Bei. From the perspective of Liu Wu’s later generations, Liu Bei’s injury was probably to the nerve center. How could it be cured with the medical conditions in ancient times? Even Zhang Zhongjing, one of the two great doctors in the late Han Dynasty, spoke out, almost sentencing him to death.

Night gradually fell.

Mi Zhu, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and others were all dismissed by Liu Bei.

Liu Bei glanced at Liu Wu who was still standing aside and said:
“I knew your advice to take Xuzhou and your warning to be wary of Lu Bu, but I didn’t do it. Now it seems that you are as capable as me. You just need to remember the words “benevolence and righteousness”. This is the key for my Liu family to compete with other princes. You must not ruin Xinye’s reputation. Otherwise, even if I lie in bed, I want you to know your place.”

Liu Bei’s weak voice, with a hint of sharpness in it, made Liu Wu’s heart skip a beat.

Is this a warning?

“Yes! Wu will remember my brother’s instructions!”

Liu Wu glanced at Liu Bei’s attribute panel and said solemnly.

【Name】: Liu Bei, courtesy name Xuande
[Camp]: Xinye

[Politics] (maximum value 110): 96. Top politician of the time.

[Favorability]: 57 (I am both afraid of you and helpless. I can only place my hopes on you.)
[Evaluation: This is a historical figure with a complex personality and rich life experience. Some people say that he is kind and benevolent, knows how to appoint people to positions, and is indomitable. Others say that he appears to be kind and righteous, but is actually a hypocrite with a deep mind. ]

Liu Wu looked at Liu Bei’s attribute panel and was not sure what kind of person Liu Bei was.

However, this did not prevent Liu Wu from understanding that Liu Bei was still wary of him.

I’m afraid Liu Bei had this fear several years ago.

They were worried that he looked similar to them and might pose a threat to them.

This made Liu Wu more eager to build his own power.

Although he took over the Xinye forces on the surface, for the time being, Liu Bei was the real master.

I’m afraid Liu Bei still has some plans. One day, after he recovers from his illness, he will take over the power of Xinye again.

“Well, Shuzhi, take Zihao to live in the Left General’s Mansion.” Liu Bei nodded lightly, closed his eyes, and instructed Chen Dao beside him.

When Liu Wu heard Liu Bei’s words, he was shocked and looked at Liu Bei in surprise.

Chen Dao, who was standing by, also froze. He glanced at Liu Wu with a look of hesitation on his face.

Although Liu Bei stationed his troops in Xinye, he still held the rank of General of the Left.

The Left General’s Mansion was the mansion where Liu Bei lived before.

It doesn’t matter that Liu Wu has now replaced Liu Bei and lives in the Left General’s Mansion.

However, now, Mrs. Mi, Mrs. Gan and other daughters of Liu Bei are still living in the Left General’s mansion.

“Go ahead. Cao Ren and Liu Biao have recently sent scouts to investigate around the Left General’s Mansion. Don’t make any noise.”

Liu Bei said again.

“promise!”

After hearing this, Chen Dao no longer hesitated.

Liu Wu was somewhat confused. He bowed to Liu Bei and followed Chen Dao out.

Liu Wu knew that Madam Mi wanted to remarry him.

However, there is more than just Madam Mi in the backyard of General Zuo’s Mansion.

What does Liu Bei mean?

However, whether facing Liu Bei or Chen Dao, Liu Wu felt embarrassed to ask.

“Shuzhi, do you also command an army in Xinye?”

Liu Wu made small talk, turned his gaze to Chen Dao and asked.

Chen Dao is very handsome, he is over 1.8 meters tall, looks strong and powerful, and gives people a sense of security.

“My Lord, I am currently in charge of the Left General’s Mansion and the Lord’s personal guards in Xinye. I have 600 elite soldiers under my command.”

Chen Dao hurriedly replied respectfully to Liu Wu.

Chen Dao’s loyalty to Liu Wu was only 71, but he also understood that Liu Wu was Liu Bei’s successor and respected him very much.

“That’s right. From now on, Wu’s safety will be left to Shuzhi.” Liu Wu said with a smile.

The carriage stopped in front of a mansion along the way. There was a sign on the mansion saying “Left General’s Mansion”. There were stone lions at the door, and dozens of guards were guarding the door. There were also people patrolling inside the mansion.
